• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure
always to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measurements taken by you are for your information
only – they are no substitute for a medical examination!
Discuss the measurements with your doctor and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration)!
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home envi-
ronment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a car,
ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physical ac-
tivity such as playing sport) can influence the measurement
accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pa-
tients with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as
chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills
or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their
safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the
device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they
do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people that have the specified upper
arm measurement for the unit.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circula-
tion must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If
the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. in-
travascular access or intravascular or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
